Periodically people post requests here for metric recipes. I have posted
a few metric recipes, as have others.
Yesterday I received some books that I ordered from AmericanCanner.com.
The books listed below were published in Canada and all three provide
metric quantity values as well as inch-pound values. They seem to use
rather approximate values for relating the two, not entirely
inappropriate for cooking, such as 500 g = 1 lb, 250 mL = 1 cup, etc.
And in North American style, volumes predominate, even for dry items
such as sugar, chopped vegetables and fruits, etc. Some volume-mass
information is provided for various "ingredients" in the back of the
first two books listed here:
1. Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving (2006), Judi Kingry and Lauren
Devine
2. The Complete Book of Pickling (2009), Jennifer MacKenzie
3. The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving (2007, 2nd ed.), Ellie
Topp and Margaret Howard
The three books stack to a height of 7 cm, so I reckon there are many
metric recipes in there for canning (as well as for dehydrating,
freezing, etc.).
I also have the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving, Anniversary Edition
(2009). It is entirely non-metric.
